This angers me greatly!
LOLI'll tell you what though. I subscribe to publications on both sides of the political spectrum (always pays to know what the other side is thinking in my books)And even the New York Times appears to be having enough of this sort of thing - attempting to sound a voice of reason, maybe? IMHO this kind of column would have been unthinkable only 12 months ago... It's a long read, but worth it if you are concerned about women's rights being eroded by this stuffThe Debate Over the ScienceMichael J. Joyner, a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., studies the physiology of male and female athletes. He sees in competitive swimming a petri dish. It is a century old, and the sexes follow similar practice and nutrition regimens.Since prepubescent girls grow faster than boys, they have a competitive advantage early on. Puberty washes away that advantage. “You see the divergence immediately as the testosterone surges into the boys,” Dr. Joyner said. “There are dramatic differences in performances.”The records for elite adult male swimmers are on average 10 percent to 12 percent faster than the records of elite female swimmers, an advantage that has held for decades.Little mystery attends to this. Beginning in the womb, men are bathed in testosterone and puberty accelerates that. Men on average have broader shoulders, bigger hands and longer torsos, and greater lung and heart capacity. Muscles are denser.“There are social aspects to sport, but physiology and biology underpin it,” Dr. Joyner noted. “Testosterone is the 800-pound gorilla.”http://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/29/us/lia-thomas-women-sports.html?searchResultPosition=1
Clown. World. Folks, I do believe we, as a species, have essentially reached our end. “Serious/official people” debating gender/sex. Good ride. But we’re done. Game over. We lost.
2 genders, period.Those who debate it are mentally ill.
